Aboriginal dancers from Barunga

Added by Oz Outback

Men from Barunga (formerly known as Bamyili) in the Katherine region of the Northern Territory enter Lajamanu on the occasion of the Northern Territory achieving self-government on 1 July 1978; they go through the new police station and perform a dance, typical of southern Arnhem Land, accompanied by didjeridu, clapsticks and singing. This was recorded in Lajamanu with an old 8 mm film camera, so the technical quality is poor.
